Possibility not to install snmptrapd

[3c2b2ff5]

Hi,

this is not an issue as though. But I would like to be able to install snmpd without snmptarp. It seems include snmp or class { 'snmp': } will always install snmptrap as well along with snmpd. How can I prevent installing the snmptrap?

Thanks

I can't get past this issue either, on Ubuntu 18.04, I get the following error:

In the module file: data/os/Debian/18.04.yaml

If you add a line: snmp::snmptrapd_package_name: ~

snmptrapd won't be installed.

Not perfect though, I'd very much like not to touch the module :/

[ubellavance]

@alaunay have you tried putting this line in your relevant hiera yaml file? If you don't use hiera, you can set this in your manifest

snmptrapd_package_name        => undef,

[alaunay]

Hello @ubellavance , yes, I tried. It seems it's superseded by the hiera data from the module. I did not try /that/ hard though, so I'm not 100% sure. I'm sure that by adding a 7.yaml in the same directory as 18.04 or 9, with the line above, it does the trick (Debian Wheezy does not have a separated snmptrapd package, and yes, I still have a few of those).

[ubellavance]

Maybe you should create a separate issue for that... I'm not a super-pro with Puppet but that sure looks weird.
